Overview

This node interacts with the Financial Cents API to manage client data. Specifically, the Client - Get operation retrieves detailed information about a single client by its ID. This is useful when you need to fetch up-to-date client details for use in workflows such as invoicing, reporting, or CRM synchronization.

Common scenarios:

  • Fetching client details before creating an invoice.
  • Retrieving client contact info for customer support automation.
  • Synchronizing client data between Financial Cents and other systems.

Example:
You have a workflow that triggers when a new invoice is created. Before generating the invoice document, you use this node to get the client's full details (name, address, contact info) to populate the invoice template accurately.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug: Include Raw Response If enabled, the raw JSON response from the API will be included under the __raw field.
Client Select a client from a dropdown list or provide an expression with the client ID to fetch.

Output

The output contains a JSON object representing the client details retrieved from the Financial Cents API. The structure includes all available client fields such as name, contact information, addresses, and any custom fields provided by the API.

If "Debug: Include Raw Response" is enabled, the output JSON will also include a __raw property containing the full original API response for debugging purposes.

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Financial Cents API using an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the base URL https://app.financial-cents.com/api/v1 by default.
  • Proper permissions on the API key are necessary to read client data.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: Client ID not provided or invalid
    Ensure that the "Client" property is set correctly with a valid client ID. Using expressions must resolve to an existing client ID.

  • API authentication errors
    Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.

  • Empty or missing client data
    Confirm that the client ID exists in Financial Cents and that the API user has access rights to view it.

  • Unexpected API response format
    If the node fails parsing the response, enable the debug option to inspect the raw API response under __raw.
